Introduction

Alistar can be the best tank in a game or the most worthless. Try to make sure you lane with a burst DPS or someone with a hard stun.

Runes

If you are serious about playing Alistar I would make more than one rune page for him. Try an armor page and an armor / MR per level mixed page.

Masteries

I went with these masteries so that I did not have to pick up the mana runes and run speed quints.

Items

The item sequence is just a guide. You do not have to copy and paste it. I would however make sure that you upgrade the regrowth pendant when you get 365 gold. You will only be using heal in the early game to top yourself off.
Try to hold on to your 5 gold per 10 second items as long as possible before upgrading. Sometimes if you have a feeder on your team you will have to upgrade to be able to tank the new item your enemy just purchased.

Summoner Spells

Tons of people pick Flash to use with Alistar, dont depend on it. Teleport will put you back in the fight and get you to the team fights where the action and assist are. If everyone is warding you can even set up the ganks.
